Deputy General Secretary for the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande has given a clear indication that the political party will look into the death of the late Deputy Finance Minister, John Kumah.
According to him, it is about time the lives of politicians were taken seriously in Ghana.
To Mr. Gbande, the NDC as a political party will take time to look into the rumours surrounding the death of the late Deputy Minister in order not to encourage a repeat in the future.
“I’ve heard a lot of rumours about his untimely death, and we believe that it is not a natural death. We are very sensitive to the times that we find ourselves in, and we give full respect to our brother, whom we have lost.
I think that as a nation, we must begin to take stock of these surprise losses. We lost a politician today, and no one wants to know the cause of death, so it frightens people that a young man, Deputy Finance Minister, and we are being told that it has something to do with politics. We believe that, at the right time, we will be going into the issues surrounding the purported death of our colleague and our brother.
We should never allow this to go down the drain. In times past we were here when a member of parliament was in his house and was killed in cold blood and till today nothing has happened. Here it is again another one is gone and we must now interrogate these deaths and surprises that it brings to the nation,” he said on Accra-based TV3.
